Misfire

Post by shawnee »

What would cause a misfire upon startup some times, leaking atomizer valve, injector nozzle leaking fuel into cylinder, it runs for a few seconds burns fuel off, a lot of smoke then runs OK? Any ideas? Broken valve spring? Have not pulled valve cover yet? And that is just sometimes at random! Any :idea:

Injectors or any of the things you mentioned. Also cooler weather will cause it.

Check to see if you have a small tap on the primer line to the manifold heater. This should be turned off until you use the heater and primer.
